I personally know a CSP officer with 5-10 lacs income per month.. I am being so literal !

CSPs can earn a lot if they don't do their job ethically.

Mostly young professional civil service mein es reason sa atty hain.start mein koi be salary ka nai souchta yeh bad mein develop hoty hai.
salary achy hoth hai 40000 thousand sa plus he hoty hai.my eldar bro in 18 grade officer 60000 plus salary they have.

I am now actually having second thoughts about going for CSS in 2014 after reading through this thread.

If you lot are the ones who i will be training with, then i would rather open a general store or something. Grow up people, show that you actually are worth the prestige of the CSS program.

And miss rida, if you honestly think you would be getting above 50k after doing bba, then you are really really naive.

Why not mate? I have seen people in bba getting more than 70k from well known institutions without bonus and other perks.

Interesting discussion..monetary matters are no doubt important and cannot be neglected.This is one area where the civil service lacks i.e the salaries paid to civil servants are not very attractive.But have to look at the gains of this tradeoff.there are hundreds of priviliges and opportunities that this service offers.One must also understand that this is a kind of a job where monetary benefits and renumeration take a backseat.Honour of being a civil servant is unparalled in Pakistan.You have power in a sense that the decisions you take have far reaching and wide implications on lives of the people and in some cases the whole nation.You can provide relief to a huge number of people legally using the power vested in your position.This is an opportunity and a feeling no other career can possibly give you.A doctor may save one person's life,but monitoring of health facilities or input in health policy by a civil servant can save lives of thousands of people in the decades to come.Civil service takes you to areas of Pakistan which you couldn't have thought of visiting if it were on your own.Recognition and even reverence would come your way if you perform your tasks efficiently,impartially and honestly.I am just a beginner in the service,but I can vouch for the fact that no job would give you the thrill and the sense of achievement that civil service can provide.It is worth all the pains.and when you have so much on offer,who cares about a few thousand rupees.You can have millions but you can't buy the tag of being an officer in the premier service of pakistan with them.

Govt institutions are full of corruppion. Most people go for Css to make money. Pakistan has been running by beaurocrats except some years of nazims, even nazims done much for common people. Beaurocrats are governing the country. Why our most areas are still backbard if they really go to civil service to serve the nation. (sorry for some spelling mistakes)

You havent met a bba who is earning above 50K???..then Go and meet MTs of good institutions like Unliever PNG ICI and others. Sir the market isnt that bad. People are getting good salaries along with great perks and benefits.

It all depends upon what one wants in life. People can do anything to get into the civil service, which shows how much sought after this career is. However, some people have different priorities. Take me, for example. Call me greedy or something but money matters a lot in my life and I can't stand being posted to small stations. I want to be able to buy an Audi A8 somewhere in the future. I want sufficient money in my account that can allow me to buy $3000 suits. This "serving the nation" thing is something I do not understand. (Most) people only join the service so that they can have power and status which they can use to boss others around, no matter what they say. If even half of our bureaucracy actually intended to "Serve" then our nation would not have been in this mess. Of course the title of CSP is a prestigious one, but like I said it all depends on one's priorities in life. If one wants luxury and wealth, I beg him/her to stay away from the services or prepare to sell their souls to the devil.
